The University at Albany/College of Computing and Information is proud to be the Convening Organization for the NY STEAM Collaborative. We will bring together organizations and individuals who are committed to informing and motivating girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics to encourage collaboration and improve inter-program communication. Our goal is to strengthen capacity, increase continuation of girl-serving STEAM programs and create a wider audience for gender-related STEAM issues.

We encourage all attendees at the NY STEAM Girls Collaborative Conference to bring information on your programs and organizations to put on the Share table. The leave behind information can be a pamphlet, postcard, flyer, promotional item (keychain, hat..) or other creative ideas that you have. In the spirit of networking it is a great opportunity to collaborate with other organizations and to get ideas from what other groups are doing too.

The NY STEAM Girls Collaborative Kick-Off Conference is sponsored by the University at Albany/College of Computing and Information, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Hudson Valley Community College.
